4 edits | So far I am not inpresssed with Netflix I am on my third month of Netflix. We got it mainly for the streaming to our Tivo.
It's really a pain in the ass because I can not just go to the Netflix menu on the Tivo, browse the movies, and pick one like I can with Amazon and Blockbuster on the Tivo.
I have to go in to the office,
start up the computer,
go to Netflix website,
browse their selection (dont get me started on that part),
add the movie I want to watch to the streaming Que,
go back out to the living room,
navigate to the Netflix menu,
pick the movie from the Que,
I can finially start the stream. 
Then the aspect ratio is often messed up so I spend ten minutes dinking with the aspect settings on tht Tivo and on my TV to find the proper aspect ratio combination that will put the Netflix stream in the proper aspect ratio. 
Once I never could find the proper setting and had to watch an entire movie squished to 4:3.
If the stream gets interrupted for any reason (like Comcraptic internet service) you have to restart from the beginning then fast forward to the place you left off.
If you do not get 5* during the streaming quality test the streaming program looks worse than the average You-Tube video.
So in three months we have received one DVD (that we still have not watched) and been disappointed three times we tried streaming.
Quite frankly, I think I am going to cancel Netflix as soon as I get home.  |
